5 Best Finishers In WWE Today (And 5 Worst)
10. Best - The Bank Statement
The Bank Statement may not be the first move that comes to mind when considering great finishers, but it has flown under the radar to become one of the best in the company. It is a perfect example of cause and effect all wrapped up in a seamless transition between vicious Backstabber and wrenching submission.
Perfectly showcasing Bank's athleticism and speed, the move adds a layer of viciousness to her character that was most prominently utilised during her run as a heel. The move is sudden, impressive, and can be hit on a variety of opponents.
Whilst not the biggest or strongest, the first portion of the move adds an integral element of believability to Sasha's chances of forcing her opponent to tap. The whole sequence bolsters her tenacious persona and works equally well when she is a face.
Like any submission finisher, when used by a heel it becomes a vicious and torturous manoeuvre for the face to overcome. On the flip-side, Sasha's use of the move is a tease for the audience, with an ingrained sense of desperation and determination.
Crowd participation is at the heart of the move and no matter how many times it is used during a match, it remains a viable finale.
